Abstract:
To fully protect the rights of participants in cancer clinical studies and clarify the key points for the ethics review of the content of informed consent forms and the process of collecting informed consent, the Medical Ethics Professional Committee of the China Anti-Cancer Association engaged in joint discussions with the ethics committees of well-known cancer hospitals in China to formulate this consensus, along with the attached general template for informed consent forms for cancer clinical studies. This work is expected to provide guidance and suggestions for the practice of the sponsors, researchers, and ethics committees.
